The Waterberg

Malaria-Free Safaris in the Waterberg

The Waterberg has been described as South Africa’s best keep secret. Its rugged beauty, together with its diversity in plant and animal life, has led to the development of the Waterberg Nature Conservancy, an amalgamation of conservation areas covering more than 150,000 hectares.

The lodges of the Waterberg are an ideal safari destination for visitors to South Africa who will be arriving or departing through Johannesburg, or spending some time at Sun City.

The Waterberg is also a malaria-free area, making the lodges a great choice for families and others who want to enjoy the African wildlife without the worry of taking anti-malarial precautions.

Several of the lodges can be taken on an exclusive basis, which is ideal for families or groups of friends travelling together, and who want to enjoy complete personal service and total flexibility.

Other lodges offer horse-back safaris - by far the most exhilarating and intimate way of viewing game in their natural habitat.

If you would like us to include a stay at one of these malaria-free lodges as part of your trip to South Africa, click here.

Alternatively if you are only looking to book just a safari you can either browse our selection of luxury safari lodges in the Waterberg below and book directly through this site, or ask us to recommend a safari based on your budget.
